Support for opus codec

[juan]

Hey everyone,

Attempted to add opus support by emerging:

media-libs/opus
media-libs/opusfile
media-plugins/gst-plugins-opus

but VLC keeps complaining that it can't decode opus audio (codec not supported). 

So it remains unclear how support for this codec is supposed to be added into funtoo, anyone?

Cheers!

   arch: x86-64bit
  build: next
subarch: intel64-haswell
 flavor: desktop
mix-ins: gfxcard-intel-iris

It occured to me that support for opus could be enabled in media-video/vlc by means of a USE flag.

 For the unexperienced (like myself), the USE flags available for a package can be queried as follows:

Quote

# emerge -pv vlc

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

As can be seen opus is disabled by default in media-video/vlc (as stated by '-opus'), so:

USE=opus emerge vlc

and voila, VLC will now reproduce opus files.

Cheers!
